Summary Though the item was being deferred, the Chairman wanted to
open it up for discussion. He reported
that a noticed meeting had been held to address a number of questions and
concerns in the proposed legislation.
Mr. Brown informed the panel that it was his understanding that if you
are an elected office holder, you cannot own a private business; the owner of
the disposal business (Coastal Recycling) for whom this ordinance was
designed to assist, is the Mayor of Atlantic Beach. Both Chris Hagan, representing Advanced Disposal, and Jeff
Foster, Chief, Solid Waste Division, Public Works Department, explained the
various aspects of the recycling business and host fees. Council Member Greg Anderson said that there was a large number of questions about the proposed
legislation that remain unanswered and agreed with the Chair in his decision
to defer the matter. DEFER |

Bill Summary Council Member Lori Boyer indicated that she had been
conferring with Assistant General Counsel Cherry Shaw. There were a number of issues that need to
be clarified by the Office of General Counsel; of particular concern was some
of the language in the proposed ordinance code amendment. Until those issues are addressed and
resolved, Ms. Boyer suggested that the item be deferred. She indicated that she would be calling a
noticed meeting together for Monday, October 13th, to address
those issues. She had specific
questions for the Municipal Code Compliance office. Ms. Boyer expressed concern with
homebuilders and realtors being fined for signs. To those who felt that a clear definition
of what constituted a snipe sign, Ms. Boyer quoted from the Municipal Code:
if a sign was in the public right of way, it was a snipe sign. Council Member Kimberly Daniels voiced concern about the
political campaign signs that violate the law. Nancy Garcia, Executive Director, Northeast Florida
Realtors Association, explained that her members were often unaware of or
confused about provisions of the law pertaining to signs. DEFER |
